Conditional Format? - color if cell is modified by user
I have a VLOOKUP formula (B5) referencing adjacent cell (B4). If the user
chooses to override the value in the default cell (B5) I want the default cell's fill color to turn red. e.g. if user enters "32" into cell B4 (which is an empty cell to begin w/) the VLOOKUP formula in B5 checks another wrkbook and returns the default... say ".09". the user chooses to ignore the default ".09" and enter in ".5" I want the format to automatically change the fill color to red. Any help greatly appreciated. -- JS |

You could create a UDF to test for a formula
Function IsFormula(rng As Range) IsFormula = rng.HasFormula End Function and use that in the CF, like so =NOT(IsFormula(A1)) -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "jhs626" wrote in message ...
